Abstract

Netomocera ramakrishnai Sureshan, 2010 is newly recorded from China (Taiwan), Japan (Honshu) and the Russian Far East (Sakhalin I. and Kamchatka Terr.). Females of the species also showed the first example of wing polymorphism in the genus Netomocera Boucek, 1954 and the second in the subfamily Diparinae Thomson, 1876. Female wings of N. ramakrishnai range from being fully macropterous in eastern India to macropterous or slightly brachypterous in Taiwan and fully brachypterous in Japan and eastern Russia. The previously unknown brachypterous morph of N. ramakrishnai is described and illustrated, and the distribution of the species is discussed.
